Pat Byrne has won The Voice in Ireland

  • April 30, 2012

The showbiz-monikered Pat Byrne from County Carlow has won the Irish version of The Voice.

Pat, who sang 'What A Wonderful World' in the final was part of 'Team Bressie' and will now begin a "valuable" recording contract with Universal Music, according to RTE.

Wonderland manager Kian Egan, Sharon 'Not Andrea' Corr and Brian 'Brian' Kennedy were the other judges on the series.

Alexandra Burke was on hand to add some 'glitz' to the finale.

Here's the moment Pat won.

Incidentally the other finalist, Richie Hayes, isn't unusually small — everyone else on the stage is a giant.
